Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Part I: Contemporary Pragmatic Naturalism -- 1 Reconciling Pragmatism and Naturalism -- 2 The Value of Pragmatic Naturalism -- Part II: Being and Knowing -- 3 An Ontology of Constitutive Relations -- 4 Particulars and Relations -- 5 Making Sense of World Making: Creativity and Objectivity in Nature -- 6 God and Faith -- 7 Art and Knowledge -- Part III: Social Experience -- 8 The Democratic Challenge -- 9 Democracy and Its Problems -- 10 International Relations and Foreign Policy -- 11 Cosmopolitanism and Humanism -- Conclusion: Pragmatic Naturalism and the Big Narrative -- Notes -- Index
Summary: The Things in Heaven and Earth develops and applies the American philosophical naturalist tradition of the mid–20th century, specifically the work of three of the most prominent figures of what is called Columbia Naturalism: John Dewey, John Herman Randall Jr., and Justus Buchler. The book argues for the philosophical value and usefulness of this underappreciated tradition for a number of contemporary theoretical and practical issues, such as the modernist/postmodernist divide and debates over philosophical constructivism. Pragmatic naturalism offers a distinctive ontology of constitutive relations. Relying on Buchler’s ordinal ontology and on the relationality implicit in Dewey’s instrumentalism, the book gives a detailed account of this approach in chapters that deal with issues in systematic ontology, epistemology, constructivism and objectivity, philosophical theology, art, democratic theory, foreign policy, education, humanism, and cosmopolitanism.
